    • Close Tourette Syndrome & Tic Disorders

      I'm a mom of 13 year old TS son. He also has certain OCDs, ADD (nonhyperactive type), and anxiety disorder. He is currently taking Clonidine and Adderall for his condition.

      Treatments

      Clonidine Working / Worked
      Didn't before. Does now. Go figure.
      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      DBT: Dialectic Behavior Therapy. Haven't tried it yet, but my son's psychiatrist thinks it might be helpful when he's being negative.
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      He doesnt have a good grasp yet.
    • Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      I have moderate (fluctuating in severity) OCD. Undx. Both kids also have OCD. Getting worse, but we're working on it.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      Working so far. Too early to tell, really.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Kate is trying. Don't know if it will work yet.
    • Open Depression

      I have (undx) dysthymia or possibly cyclothymia. At least, I'm convinced of it. I'm trying to get DS to start a community specifically for it.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Of course, it's been a while since I spoke to a counselor on a continuing basis. May be something I want to try again.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      very helpful
    • Open Home Schooling

      I home school both my children. Son 12 with Tourrette Syndrome, ADHD, OCD etc. and Daughter, 9, with OCD and general anxiety.

    • Open Anxiety Disorders in Children

      Both my children have OCD. My son, 12 also has Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, and sleep disorder. My daughter 9 shows signs of an eating disorder and other OCD type symptons.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      My daughter takes this and so far I havent seen a difference
      Adderall Working / Worked
      This is for the ADHD but I think it makes my sons anxiety much worse.
    • Open Depression in Children

      Son, who is 12 has Tourrette Syndrome, ADHD, OCD and sleep disorder is also suffering from depression. I think the meds he's on make it worse. Need all the advise I can get.

    • Open Anxiety

      I have OCD which is more or less a mental illness built on anxiety so I figured I'd join.

      Treatments

      Running Somewhat Helpful
      When I feel really anxious I can run and usually it makes me feel much better at least for a while.
    • Open Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      Recovering anorexic

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Seems like talk doesn't work.
    • Open Paranoia

      I have OCD and sometimes a mild to moderate paranoia. I was hoping to find others like me.
